The art of creating beautiful, practical outdoor spaces.

The most visually arresting properties mingle nature with decorative features, such as gazebos, retaining walls, stone paths, and paver-strewn driveways. But mixing these components is tricky—and can result in the landscaping equivalent of a fashion disaster.

It requires an expert’s eye and a craftsman’s hand.

At Robert Ott Landscaping, we specialize in outdoor design, weaving together the colors, shapes, and textures of these elements to transform your yard into a work of art.

What is the process?

First, we listen to you. Do you prefer particular plants or flowers? Is there a trellis or pergola you’d like to showcase? Are you aiming for a certain theme, like traditional, Oriental, Jersey shore, or contemporary? What is your budget?

Then, based on our knowledge and experience, we make recommendations that match your criteria. Not sure what you want? We’ll fire up the creative juices and give you some ideas!

Finally, we design, install, and maintain your landscape/hardscape. Architectural renderings can be provided upon request.

Our hardscaping products and services include:

Brick pavers (driveways, patios, and walks)

Concrete and masonry

Gazebos and pergolas

Stone Patios (Flagstone, Gravel, etc.)

Retaining walls

Stone yards and paths

Trellises

“I wanted to let you know that your crew came yesterday and they weeded the beds in the front yard. They said they would be back to do the hedges and the mulch.

My front yard grass has never looked so good. I appreciate all the work you did on it in the past fall, it came up beautifully! Thank you!”

Thank you!”

Bob and his crew do meticulous work, and you will not find a nicer person who aims to please. In a world where anyone with a lawnmower can be a "landscaper," Bob is the real deal - experienced, trustworthy, and caring.

This is the first year we used Robert Ott Landscaping, and we are thrilled by the attention and care we received. Our front and backyard had been neglected over the years, so we really needed a big restoration. Bob Ott came to our house and reviewed the property and gave us his recommendations. He was fantastic and gave us a very reasonable rate for the work that needed to be done. The crew arrived and in a long 12 hour day they transformed our property. We could not believe the incredible results from the very hard working and polite crew. We are completely satisfied with the wonderful results. We can’t imagine using anyone else, we highly recommend Ott landscaping.

“…I just wanted to thank the crew that was at our house to mow the lawn today. They were mowing the lawn as I pulled up. I had one of the girls on my shoulder asleep and the other was holding her ears because of the noise ? They stopped mowing and allowed me to get into the house before starting again. It’s the little things that make such a big difference. Please let them know how much I appreciated their courtesy! And thanks again, as always, for such amazing service!!”
